1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
THESE ARE THE THE FACTS: THIS IS THE VICTORY THROUGH JESUS OUR LORD!
From beginning to end, God's Word is fact. The Scriptures have been fulfilled.
Christ lived, as promised, the Promised Seed of the woman, who would crush the head of the serpent.
Christ died, as promised, bearing our griefs, wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities.
The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all, and has taken it away, so that it is written, "The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7).
As the Scriptures show, complete forgiveness of your sins is a fact, for Christ Jesus suffered and died to win that forgiveness for you. Having died, Christ rose as promised, the third day following His death on the cross, God the Father's seal of approval on His saving work. Thus we are assured doubly that our sins are forgiven. And thus we are assured of eternal life as promised in God's Word.
